The US Airways recently launched new seasonal summer service to be operated daily between the airline’s hub at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Madrid (Spain) and Dublin (Ireland) to provide passenger more options to get to the two favorite European cities.

The Madrid service began from May 13, 2011. The flight will be operated with Boeing B767-200ER aircraft with seating for 18 in Envoy, US Airways’ international business class, and 186 in the main cabin.

The Dublin service started from May 14, 2011. The flight will be operated with Boeing B757-200 ETOPS aircraft with seating for 12 in Envoy and 164 in the main cabin.

The new flights will complement US Airways’ daily nonstop service to both cities from Philadelphia, the airline’s international gateway, and will operate through September 30, 2011.

With the new flights the number of international destinations served from Charlotte by the US Airways now stands at 31 (6 cities in Europe and 25 in Latin America and the Caribbean). During the last week the airline also reinstated seasonal summer service from Philadelphia to Athens, Greece; Glasgow, Scotland; Lisbon, Portugal; and Venice, Italy.
